Best Answer

The exact number of Indian tribes in Mexico is open to discussion. It is safe to say that there are about 50 distinct groups. The 1990 census put the number of people who spoke American Indian languages at 8%. Some of the most well-known are the Huichol (western Mexico), Nahuatl (central, southern states of San Luis Potosi, Mexico, Hidalgo, Puebla, Tlaxcala), Otomi (mainly Hidalgo state), Tarahumara (Chihuahua), Yaqui (Sonora, Sinaloa), Seri (Sonora), Mayo (Sonora, Sinaloa), Zapotec (Oaxaca and southern states), Maya (Yucatan, Quintana Roo) Cochimi (Baja Norte), Totonac (Veracruz), Pima (Sonora), Cocopa (Baja), Tarascan (Michoacan), Kickapoo (Coahuila).
